  1. Here is what really happened. Somebody didn't fail in Math. A legal retirement visa costs 1900 THB plus perhaps s.th. for the income confirmation at the embassy. Each exit stamp is another 1000 THB Retirees who like to travel would save money by just leaving every 60 days, or even after an extension once in a while. No other paperwork anymore.
  2. It was enough to scare that YouTuber RW4U away for most of the year, as it seems. Those loaded with money get nervous.
  3. Go to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. But they might be busy, too. A friend went to Dental Paragon in Pattaya Klang, they also had a specialist.
  4. This is an exchange of information of TAX AUTHORITIES. So as I said your bank will not disclose what you took from your account at home to the Thai authority. The Thai tax authority will just check back with your tax authority at home what your ID is and what you have paid etc. This is totally understandable. I attach my tax declaration to my visa application for years now anyway, this is a requirement for the income confirmation by my consulate. But it is never from the recent year because we have other deadlines at home. I see a problem there.
  5. I wonder if a foreign bank, asked to hand out data to Thailand or elsewhere, will not at least need proof of a criminal investigation. Even then I guess they would first check back with their home tax department if the credit card holder has paid his taxes. And if so, why would they comply, knowing of double tax treaties?
  6. When using a professional, we have at least 14 months to file our papers at home (e.g. until February 2026 for the year 2024). In Thailand it is only 3 months. So how could this ever work, as proof of tax paid at home is always a year late? Furthermore: Where exactly is it written (in the Royal Gazette?) that credit card usage counts? This contradicts the "transferring income" wording, as the money is actually taken from a foreign account, not a Thai account. Did anyone ask for proof?
  7. You don't even need 30.000 € to bring a corpse home, and any decent insurance would have covered it, as do many credit cards. Sorry for their loss, and sorry for all those cries for financial help.
  8. You pay them for sex. You can still get it for 1,000.Baht. If you pay for travel costs and food (which they would have to do themselves after short time), two f...s per day should get you a discount and total costs amount to s.th. like 1,600 USD. But: I bet most customers (considering their average age) do not have 60 f..s per month with the same woman. So it's a bad deal. Not to mention the other amount given in the article.
  9. Who the hell pays 1600 USD to stay with a Thai for a month?
